Struck from 99.99% pure gold to mark the 2027 Lunar Year of the Goat, this coin pairs the natural richness of the metal with a finely detailed reverse: a goat set among persimmons, a fruit long associated with prosperity and good fortune. The obverse carries an ornate rendering of the lunar calendar bordering the King's effigy. A coin that appeals to Lunar series collectors and gift-givers alike

According to legend, twelve animals raced across a river to determine the order of the Chinese zodiac. The Goat placed eighth, having worked with the Monkey and the Rooster to cross together on a raft.

Those born under the Goat sign are traditionally considered creative and compassionate. International Goats include Bill Gates, Carlos Alcaraz, Norah Jones and Ed Sheeran; well-known Australian Goats include Nicole Kidman and Tina Arena.

The 2027 $100 Year Of The Goat 1oz Gold Proof Domed Coin is available in Australia from Direct Coins. Leading authorised distributor for the Royal Australian Mint since 2012.
